๐กKEEPING CSMA'S CORE VALUES ALIVE: Psychosocial Orientation and Independence Day Celebration
Last June 11, the CSMA Family began with a vibrant celebration of the Philippine Independence Day, where students showcased their talents through various performances, including sabayang pagbigkas, cultural dances, and musical presentations. Each performance served as a tribute to the rich history, courage, and resilience of the Filipino people, reminding us of the sacrifices that paved the way for the freedom we enjoy today.
More than a celebration of nationhood, the program reflected two of CSMA's core values: Ardor and Service. As Filipinos, we are called to honor our heritage with passion and gratitude, while dedicating ourselves to serving our communities and our nation with integrity and purpose. Through their performances, Monicans demonstrated that the spirit of patriotism continues to burn brightly in the hearts of the youth.
In the latter part of the day, students participated in a Psychosocial Orientation titled โBe a Buddy, Not a Bully!โ. It focused on bullying awareness and prevention. Through insightful discussions, the High School Department explored the different forms of bullying, its effects on individuals and communities, and the ways it can manifest in everyday interactions.
The orientation served as a meaningful reminder that every Monican is called to embody Christ Centeredness and Mindfulness. As children of God, we are encouraged to treat one another with kindness, respect, and compassion. In a world where words and actions can greatly impact others, we are challenged to be mindful of what we say and do, choosing always to uplift rather than harm.
Through both celebration and reflection, Monicans were reminded that true excellence is not measured solely by achievement, but by the values we uphold and the character we cultivate each day.
As we continue this academic year, may we remain steadfast in living out the CSMA Core Values, becoming responsible citizens, faithful disciples, and true Lights of the World.
